Adult Group Volunteer Opportunities
If your service organization, club or corporate group wants to make a real
difference protecting an
endangered island ecosystem and you want to enjoy
a unique team-building experience in a truly unusual and beautiful place,
then a volunteer habitat restoration trip to Santa Cruz Island is your perfect
opportunity!
Participants visit a gorgeous nature reserve reminiscent of California's past, while working to protect rare plant and animal species on the largest of the California Channel Islands. Volunteers stay at the University of California Field Station in the "Central Valley" of Santa Cruz Island, with inside accommodations, large cooking and restroom/shower facilities.
Transportation to the island is provided by a professional boat concessionaire and often includes
spectacular views of marine mammals
and other ocean life. Once on the island, volunteers participate in an
ongoing habitat restoration project during the day and are treated to
late afternoon/evening drives or hikes to beautiful and interesting
island locals.
After dinner activities include time around the camp fire, astronomy shows and educational PowerPoint presentations that highlight the natural and cultural history of the island. CIR staff have more than a decade of experience in coordinating trips to the Channel Islands. Our staff of highly experienced naturalists are uniquely qualified to introduce trip participants to the natural wonders of the island.
CIR has worked with many groups on the island, including the North Face, Sierra Club, California Native Plant Society, church groups, college groups, plus hundreds of school kids and hundreds of individuals. If you would like to find out more about how your group can participate in this unique volunteer experience, follow the "Contact Us" link above.
